CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present application is a national stage of International Application No. PCT/CN2017/096873 filed on Aug. 10, 2017, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates generally to the technical field of communications, and more specifically to a method and device for configuring Downlink Control Information (DCI).

BACKGROUND

In related art, a terminal can determine a length value of DCI through its own carrier bandwidth value. Under the condition that the carrier bandwidth value is known, the length value of the DCI is a fixed length value.

A piece of DCI may include information fields corresponding to much information, for example, an information field corresponding to resource allocation information configured to indicate resource allocation, an information field corresponding to resource allocation indication information configured to indicate a resource allocation manner, and the like. These information fields are at fixed positions in the DCI, and have fixed bit length values.

In a new-generation communication system, information required to be supported by the DCI may be configured. For example, for DCI indicating a Slot Format Information (SFI) of a transmission direction, the transmission direction may change dynamically. Therefore, it is agreed in standardization discussions to indicate a slot format by using a Group Common-Physical Downlink Control Channel (GC-PDCCH).

However, when a GC-PDCCH is adopted to indicate slot formats on multiple bandwidth parts, or under the condition that a terminal supports multiple bandwidth parts, there is yet no DCI configuration solution in the related art.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a DCI configuration scenario. As illustrated in FIG. 1, when a base station 100 is required to transmit common DCI or a terminal 200 is required to perform data transmission, a PDCCH bearing target DCI can be sent to the terminal 200. The target DCI includes control information required by at least one target time-domain transmission unit on at least one target bandwidth part, the target bandwidth part is a bandwidth part indicated by the target DCI, the bandwidth part is a pre-specified frequency-domain resource on each carrier between the base station and the terminal, and the target time-domain transmission unit is a time-domain transmission unit on the target bandwidth part indicated by the target DCI.

The terminal 200, after demodulating the target DCI from the PDCCH, executes a corresponding control operation on the target time-domain transmission unit on/of the target bandwidth part indicated by the target DCI.

A method for configuring DCI provided in embodiments of the present disclosure will be introduced at first from a base station side.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for configuring DCI. Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing a method for configuring DCI, according to an exemplary embodiment. The method can be applied to the base station 100 in the scenario illustrated in FIG. 1, and includes the following steps.

At S101, target DCI is configured for a terminal, and the target DCI includes control information required by at least one target time-domain transmission unit on at least one target bandwidth part.

At S102, a PDCCH bearing the target DCI is sent to the terminal, and the target DCI is configured for the terminal to execute a corresponding control operation on the target time-domain transmission unit of/on the indicated target bandwidth part. The target bandwidth part is a bandwidth part indicated by the target DCI, the bandwidth part is a pre-specified frequency-domain resource on each carrier between the base station and the terminal, and the target time-domain transmission unit is a time-domain transmission unit on the target bandwidth part indicated by the target DCI.

In the above embodiment, the base station can configure the target DCI for the terminal, and the DCI includes the control information required by the at least one target time-domain transmission unit on the at least one target bandwidth part. Furthermore, the base station sends the PDCCH bearing the target DCI to the terminal. The terminal, after demodulating the target DCI from the PDCCH, executes the corresponding control operation on the target time-domain transmission unit of the target bandwidth part indicated by the target DCI. Through the process, the base station can configure the control information required by the at least one target time-domain transmission unit on the at least one target bandwidth part for the terminal, thus improving performance of a 5G system.

For the above Step 101, the bandwidth part is introduced at first. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the bandwidth part is the pre-specified frequency-domain resource on each carrier between the base station and the terminal, and each terminal can support at least one bandwidth part.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the target DCI configured for the terminal by the base station includes the control information required by the at least one target time-domain transmission unit on the at least one target bandwidth part. The target bandwidth part is the bandwidth part indicated by the target DCI, and the target time-domain transmission unit is the time-domain transmission unit on the target bandwidth part indicated by the target DCI. The time-domain transmission unit can be a slot.

Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing another method for configuring DCI, according to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2. Step 101 can include the following steps.

At S101-1, the required control information is configured for each target time-domain transmission unit on each target bandwidth part, and a length value of the control information required by each target time-domain transmission unit is a preset length value.

In the step, the base station can configure the required control information for each target time-domain transmission unit on each target bandwidth part according to the related art. Optionally, the length value of the control information required by each target time-domain transmission unit can be a preset length value, for example, 5 bits. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the control information required by each target time-domain transmission unit can be configured to indicate any one of a data transmission direction, a resource allocation manner, or a modulation and coding scheme.

Taking the control information for indicating the data transmission direction as an example, as illustrated in FIG. 5A, the base station can configure required control information for indicating a data transmission direction for three time-domain transmission units n, n+1 and n+2 on two target bandwidth parts including a bandwidth part 1 and a bandwidth part 2, respectively.

At S101-2, the control information required by the at least one target time-domain transmission unit on the at least one target bandwidth part is arranged according to a preset sequence to obtain the target DCI.

In the step, the base station can arrange the control information required by each target time-domain transmission unit on each target bandwidth part according to the preset sequence to obtain the target DCI. The preset sequence can be a sequence from small to large numbers of bandwidth parts and from small to large numbers of target time-domain transmission units, as illustrated in FIG. 5B.

Through the process, a purpose that the base station configures the control information required by the at least one target time-domain transmission unit on the at least one target bandwidth part for the terminal is achieved, and the performance of the 5G system is improved.

For the above Step 102, the base station can bear the target DCI through the PDCCH according to the related art and further send the PDCCH to the terminal according to the related art, and the terminal can demodulate the target DCI from the PDCCH according to the related art and further execute the corresponding control operation on the target time-domain transmission unit of the target bandwidth part indicated by the target DCI.

The control operation can include any one of a data transmission operation, a resource allocation operation, or a modulation and coding operation.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the length value of the configured target DCI can be a fixed value, for example, a preset total length value; or the length value of the target DCI can also be variable and is a configurable total length value, and the configurable total length value can be based on a length value sum of the control information required by the target time-domain transmission unit on the target bandwidth part.

When the length value of the target DCI is the preset total length value, for avoiding the length value sum of the control information required by the at least one target time-domain transmission unit on the at least one target bandwidth part exceeding the preset total length value, the base station, when configuring the target DCI, can set that a total number of the target bandwidth parts does not exceed a preset bandwidth part number and a total number of the target time-domain transmission units also does not exceed a preset time-domain transmission unit number.

That is, it can be limited that, when the base station configures the target DCI of which the length value is the preset total length value, the total number of the target bandwidth parts does not exceed the preset bandwidth part number and the total number of the target time-domain transmission units also does not exceed the preset time-domain transmission unit number.

For example, the preset bandwidth part number can be 2, and the preset time-domain transmission unit number is 3. In such case, the base station configures DCI corresponding to at most two target bandwidth parts and at most three target time-domain transmission units on each target bandwidth part in a piece of target DCI.

In an embodiment, it is possible that the length value sum of the control information required by the at least one target time-domain transmission unit on the at least one target bandwidth part is less than the preset total length value. For example, the terminal supports a bandwidth part, and a piece of DCI is only required to transmit transmission directions on three time-domain transmission units. In such case, the target DCI includes totally 15 bits configured to transmit data transmission directions corresponding to different time-domain transmission units, the preset total length value is 30, and there is left an idle field of 15 bits.

Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing another method for configuring DCI, according to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2. The method can further include the following step.

At S103, a field that is not occupied by the control information required by the target time-domain transmission unit in the target DCI is set as a reserved field.

In the step, the base station can set the field that is not occupied by the control information required by the target time-domain transmission unit in the target DCI as the reserved field, and the reserved field is a field containing no information. When the reserved field is not set, a field that is not occupied by the control information required by the target time-domain transmission unit can be configured to transmit other information, the target DCI demodulated by a terminal side according to the preset total length value includes the other information, such that the demodulated target DCI is inaccurate.

For example, the field of 15 bits that is not occupied by the DCI is set as the reserved field, as illustrated in FIG. 7. The reserved field contains no information.

Through the process, when the length value of the target DCI is the preset total length value and the length value sum of the control information required by the at least one target time-domain transmission unit on the at least one target bandwidth part is less than the preset total length value, the reserved field can be set in the target DCI, and the reserved field is a field that is not occupied by the control information required by the target time-domain transmission unit and contains no information. Through the process, after the terminal demodulates the target DCI according to the preset total length value, accuracy of the obtained control information required by each target time-domain transmission unit on each target bandwidth part can be ensured.

In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 8, FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing another method for configuring DCI, according to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2. Before Step 101, the method can further include the following step.

At S100, a length value of the target DCI is sent to the terminal, and the length value of the target DCI is configured for the terminal to demodulate the target DCI from the PDCCH.

When the length value of the target DCI is the preset total length value, the base station can send the preset total length value to the terminal through target signaling. The target signaling can be any one of radio resource control signaling, system information, media access control address control unit or physical-layer signaling.

The base station can send the preset total length value to the terminal through independent target signaling, and can also multiplex certain target signaling for the preset total length value and information in the target signaling to send the preset total length value to the terminal through the target signaling.

Or, the base station can also send the preset total length value to the terminal in a predefinition manner. For example, the preset total length value is pre-specified in a communication protocol, the base station sends triggering signaling to the terminal, and the terminal automatically acquires the preset total length value according to the triggering signaling. The triggering signaling can be any one of radio resource control signaling, system information, media access control address control unit or physical-layer signaling.

When the length value of the target DCI is the configurable total length value, the base station can send information indicating the configurable total length value to the terminal through the target signaling. Of course, the target signaling can be any one of the radio resource control signaling, the system information, the media access control address control unit or physical-layer signaling. The base station can send a real-time total length value to the terminal through independent target signaling, and can also multiplex certain target signaling for the real-time total length value and information in the target signaling to send the real-time total length value to the terminal through the target signaling.

For example, the number of the target bandwidth part configured for the terminal by the base station is 1, the number of the target time-domain transmission unit on the target bandwidth part is 3, and the control information required by each target time-domain transmission unit occupies 5 bits. The base station sends such information to the terminal as the information indicating the configurable total length value through the target signaling, and the terminal can determine that the length value of the target DCI is 15 bits.

In the embodiment, the base station, before configuring the target DCI for the terminal, can further send the length value of the target DCI to the terminal to ensure that the terminal can subsequently demodulate the target DCI successfully from the PDCCH bearing the target DCI according to the length value of the target DCI. Optionally, when the length value of the target DCI is the preset total length value, the preset total length value is sent to the terminal through the target signaling or in the predefinition manner. When the length value of the target DCI is the configurable total length value, the information indicating the configurable total length value can be sent to the terminal through the target signaling. Through the process, accuracy of the target DCI demodulated by the terminal can be ensured.

The method for configuring DCI provided in embodiments of the present disclosure at a terminal side will be introduced.

Referring to FIG. 9, FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing a method for configuring DCI, according to an exemplary embodiment. The method can be applied to the terminal 200 in the scenario illustrated in FIG. 1, and includes the following steps.

At S201, a PDCCH bearing target DCI is received from a base station, and the target DCI includes control information required by a target time-domain transmission unit on at least one target bandwidth part.

At S202, the target DCI is demodulated from the PDCCH.

At S203, a corresponding control operation is executed on the target time-domain transmission unit of/on the target bandwidth part indicated by the target DCI.

The target bandwidth part is a bandwidth part indicated by the target DCI, the bandwidth part is a pre-specified frequency-domain resource on each carrier between the base station and the terminal, and the target time-domain transmission unit is a time-domain transmission unit on the target bandwidth part indicated by the target DCI.

In the embodiment, the terminal can receive the PDCCH bearing the target DCI from the base station, and the target DCI includes the control information required by the target time-domain transmission unit on the at least one target bandwidth part. The terminal further demodulates the target DCI from the PDCCH, thereby executing the corresponding control operation on the target time-domain transmission unit of the target bandwidth part indicated by the target DCI. Through the process, the terminal can execute the corresponding control operation on the target time-domain transmission unit of the target bandwidth part indicated by the target DCI according to the control information configured by the base station and required by the at least one target time-domain transmission unit on the at least one target bandwidth part, thus improving performance of a 5G system.

For the above Step 201, the base station, after completing configuring the target DCI, can bear the target DCI through the PDCCH and further send the PDCCH to the terminal, such that the terminal directly receives.

The target DCI includes the control information required by the target time-domain transmission unit on the at least one target bandwidth part, the target bandwidth part is the bandwidth part indicated by the target DCI, the bandwidth part is the pre-specified frequency-domain resource on each carrier between the base station and the terminal, and the target time-domain transmission unit is the time-domain transmission unit on the target bandwidth part indicated by the target DCI.

For the above Step 202, referring to FIG. 10, FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing another method for configuring DCI, according to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 9. Step 202 can include the following steps.

At S202-1, a length value of the target DCI is received from the base station.

In the step, when the length value of the target DCI is a preset total length value, the base station can send the length value of the target DCI to the terminal through target signaling or in a predefinition manner. When the length value of the target DCI is a configurable total length value, the base station can send information indicating the configurable total length value to the terminal through the target signaling. After directly receiving it, the terminal can determine the length value of the target DCI according to the information indicating the configurable total length value.

The target signaling can be any one of radio resource control signaling, system information, media access control address control unit or physical-layer signaling.

At S202-2, the target DCI is demodulated from the PDCCH according to the length value of the target DCI.

In the step, after determining the length value of the target DCI, the terminal can demodulate the target DCI from the PDCCH according to the related art.

For the above Step 203, referring to FIG. 11, FIG. 11 is a flow chart showing another method for configuring DCI, according to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 9. Step 203 can include the following steps.

At S203-1, the control information required by each target time-domain transmission unit on each target bandwidth part is acquired from the target DCI according to a preset sequence and a preset length value corresponding to each piece of DCI.

In the step, when the preset sequence is a sequence from small to large numbers of target bandwidth parts and from small to large numbers of target time-domain transmission units and the preset length value is 5 bits, the terminal can determine first 5 bits in the target DCI as control information required by a target time-domain transmission unit 1 on a target bandwidth part 1, and so on. In such a manner, the control information required by each target time-domain transmission unit on each target bandwidth part can be acquired from the target DCI.

At S203-2, a control operation corresponding to current control information is executed on a current target time-domain transmission unit on a current target bandwidth part.

In the step, when the current control information indicates a data transmission direction, the terminal executes a data transmission operation on the current target time-domain transmission unit on the current target bandwidth part. When the current control information indicates a downlink transmission manner, a downlink data transmission operation is executed. When the current control information indicates an uplink transmission manner, an uplink data transmission operation is executed.

When the current control information indicates a resource allocation manner, the terminal executes a resource allocation operation on the current target time-domain transmission unit on the current target bandwidth part. Similarly, uplink or downlink resource allocation can be performed according to the current control information.

When the current control information indicates a modulation and coding scheme, the terminal executes a modulation and coding operation on transmitted data on the current target time-domain transmission unit on the current target bandwidth part according to the modulation and coding scheme.

In the above embodiment, the terminal can execute the corresponding control operation on the target time-domain transmission unit of the target bandwidth part indicated by the target DCI according to the control information configured by the base station and required by the at least one target time-domain transmission unit on the at least one target bandwidth part, so that the performance of the 5G system is improved.

Referring to FIG. 12, FIG. 12 is a flow chart showing a method for configuring DCI, according to an exemplary embodiment. The method includes the following steps.

At S301, a base station sends a length value of target DCI to a terminal, and the target DCI includes control information required by at least one target time-domain transmission unit on at least one target bandwidth part.

The target bandwidth part is a bandwidth part indicated by the target DCI, the bandwidth part is a pre-specified frequency-domain resource on each carrier between the base station and the terminal, and the target time-domain transmission unit is a time-domain transmission unit on the target bandwidth part indicated by the target DCI.

When the length value of the target DCI is a preset total length value, the base station can send the preset total length value to the terminal through target signaling or in a predefinition manner. When the length value of the target DCI is a configurable total length value, the base station can send information indicating the configurable total length value to the terminal through the target signaling. At S302, the base station configures the target DCI for the terminal.

A configuration/configuring method is as mentioned in the abovementioned embodiment and will not be elaborated herein.
